Could you share the subscription ID (sub_123) for the scenario described, so that I can take a look how your integration works?

sub_id: sub_1RjkjvFqArqfkwbM5sqOdHCf
our subscription upgrades are done through stripe billing portal flow
iron bane
Is there a way to make them only pay $5 for the remainder of the month?
This may be possible with with the newbilling_mode: 'flexible': https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/billing-mode#credit-proration-calculations. Checking it now
desert ember
hm, i would have to upgrade api versions for this?
and i would need to change the subscription data for this rather than choose to do it during upgrade?
iron bane
Thank you for the waiting! I'm still testing this
desert ember
no problem 🙂
iron bane
Thanks for waiting! Upon testing, the discount is applied during the subscription creation. After updating to the new price, the discount will not be applied as the discount has been applied earlier. It will be treated as updating to the full price regardless which billing_mode is set
desert ember
Thanks for waiting! Upon testing, the discount is applied during the subscriptio...
this includes the flexibility option?
so i guess there's no way to just charge the $5
iron bane
Yes, even for flexible option. The discount will not be carried over to the upgrade since it has been applied earlier
desert ember
ok thanks, i guess ill try to look for an alternative solution to my issues
iron bane
Alternatively, you can set proration_behavior: 'none' and apply one-time invoice item with your own calculated proration with add_invoice_items:

i do it throught the stripe billing portal deep links rather than subscription api calls, i don't think I'm allowed to add any line items

Hi taking over here as river has to step out
desert ember
hi duchess, but yeah i feel like im pretty restricted with customer billing portal at the moment, maybe its time for me to build a custom billing page
rancid stratus
Yeah if you need to customize proration behavior like in the above example, you're going to have to unfortunately
desert ember
i guess you dont have a solution to my original question either
rancid stratus
No, my colleague's assessment was correct
